Why do seemingly ALL websites nowadays use cookies (and make it hard to reject them)?

1.05K viewsOtherTechnology

What the title says. I remember, let’s say 10/15 years ago cookies were definitely a thing, but not every website used it. Nowadays you can rarely find a website that doesn’t give you a huge pop-up at visit to tell you you need to accept cookies, and most of these pop-ups cleverly hide the option to reject them/straight up make you deselect every cookie tracker. How come? Why do websites seemingly rely on you accepting their cookies?

This is more of a client problem.

Google loves tracking everyone and owns the biggest browser frame used for chrome and most browsers except Firefox and Safari.

They want cookies and will make it very hard to disable or eliminate. Just one more way you can be tracked, so they can milk you for ad profits.
